Spotted: Katrina shoots in salwar kameez for ‘Phantom’

Bollywood actor Saif Ali
Khan and model-actor Katrina Kaif were spotted in a small Punjab town shooting their
upcoming film ‘Phantom’.

After shooting in Beirut in
Lebanon and Gulmarg in Kashmir, Saif and Katrina together with director Kabir
Khan are now shooting in the Punjab town of Malerkotla, which has been transformed
to look like Pakistan.

While Saif was seen in a
Pathani suit and salwar, Katrina looked gorgeous in traditional attire wearing
a salwar suit with a shawl. Media reports say that Punjab Police did their best
to provide security to the two artistes.

According to reports, a
huge crowd had gathered to catch a glimpse of their favourite stars dressed in
simple and traditional dress.

The movie features Saif Ali
Khan and Katrina Kaif in leading roles where they appear as secret agents. Saif
reportedly has also learnt Kurdish for his character.

‘Phantom’ is said to be a
counter-terrorism drama film directed by Kabir Khan, and produced by Sajid
Nadiadwala. The music is done by Pritam Chakraborty.

The film reportedly also has
a connection with the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks.

The film is slated to hit
theatres on October 2.

Some of Saif’s successful
roles were Farhan Akhtar’s ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ (2001), his role in ‘Kal Ho Naa Ho’
(2003) won him the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor, and was awarded
the National Film Award for Best Actor for his performance in ‘Hum Tum’ (2004).
He also was seen in ‘Salaam Namaste’ (2005) and ‘Race’ (2008). In 2009, Saif
began film production with his company Illuminati Films, whose first release, ‘Love
Aaj Kal’, which became a box-office hit.

Katrina began her career as
a model and made her acting debut in 2003, with Kaizad Gustad’s box-office hit
‘Boom’.

The star was then seen in a
Telugu film titled ‘Malliswari’. And even later she got commercial success in
Bollywood with ‘Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya?’ and ‘Namastey London’. She was seen in glamorous
roles in a series of box-office hits, but was also criticised for having very little
to do in such male-centric films as ‘Partner’ (2007), ‘Welcome’ (2007) and ‘Singh
Is Kinng’ (2008).

The 2009 movie ‘New York’
marked a turning point in her career, which earned her critical acclaim and a
Filmfare Award for Best Actress nomination.
